Draw: Humpty Dumpty
Someone asks: Draw all the Horses and all the Kings Men Putting Humpty Dumpty together again.
I heard about the origin of this phrase the other day. Something to do with some useless english king. Was it someone the reckless?

dunno which king, but humpty dumpty was a cannon on some castle... possibly in scotland, i dont know.
Also how do we know that Humpty Dumpty was an egg? It doesn't say anywhere in the rhyme.
humpty dumpty was a cannon. I've never heard the useless king reference, but the cannon was apparently local to colchester (also home to old king coel)
Your right...
I was thinking of the Grand Ol' Duke of York.
It was a cannon from Colchester, during the english civil war. There was a siege there.. I had to do a history project on it. As you can tell from my vague comments I totally waited until the night before to do it. It was basically a folded bit of paper with humpty dumpty on it.. And my school was named after one of the king's men.. I think? Sir Charles Lucas. Colchester is the oldest recorded town too. So no wonder it's so frigging boring.
Great blog thing!
